if every business had gotten the two-month payment to stay closed in March/April while workers stayed at home to smash the virus, theaters

would have been open all summer at some capacity and likely open right now.  this was a choice that Republicans made to punish poor and low-wage workers instead of biting the bullet and following the science

 

THR: It's all out assault on Cuomotime! All of NATO's CEO's and Top Studio Executives have been brushed off by Cuomo for calls. notfabio Oct 07, 06:50

Cuomo Top Advisor response to article "“We understand some people are unhappy, but you know what? Better unhappy than sick or worse.” {nm} notfabio Oct 07, 06:51

Hard for a rational person to disagree with that {nm} Moviesnob Oct 07, 07:07

"Rational" is the operative word. {nm} Wilderness_Journey Oct 07, 07:14

my thought as well. {nm} csbd Oct 07, 07:25

Too much blaming of the wrong people, IMO. Jay_Beezy Oct 07, 07:49

Cuomo is a scapegoat that serves NATO's immediate needs. blaming the fed government wont help with the bailout and blaming the audience for Moviesnob Oct 07, 08:13

Too many industries also need the bailouts. It wouldn't be reasonable for theaters to get eariler (and bigger) bailouts than others {nm} Peterlee Oct 07, 08:19

NATO/Studios/Exhibitors re-opening awareness campaign has been underwhelming (some of that is to be expected with not everything open) notfabio Oct 07, 08:29

Probably decided it was better not to engage for legal reasons as far as a possible NJ style lawsuit {nm} notfabio Oct 07, 09:18

More people know Regal is closing than knew theaters opened again. {nm} Catzan Oct 07, 09:50

it's the Disneyland tactic =P {nm} tealfan Oct 07, 08:43

Yeah. Plus, I also forgot about Cuomo allowing other close quarter businesses to reopen. {nm} Jay_Beezy Oct 07, 12:20

Theatrical is dying. Hollywood should just simply accept its fate, because it just doesn't matters. Peterlee Oct 07, 08:23

Films iare how the USA dominates the global culture. It does matter. {nm} Antibody Oct 07, 08:37
